Internship Update - it’s on!
Wednesday December 03rd 2008, 1:11 am
Filed under: Internship

To some these may just like a series of tubes… to one lucky person, these prints will help you land an internship… (and get paid! I’m not a big believer in unpaid internships…)

At this point we’ve raised enough to go ahead and say the internship will happen!

I’m working on a few more details that I’ll announce soon - and since this is a blog - I think I can get away with saying: check in soon… as opposed to waiting and waiting on all of the details to come together. (Including how to apply etc… soon..ok soon! Within a week most likely.)

 For those of you who ordered prints - THANK YOU!  all of your proceeds will help someone learn (hopefully…)  Here were some of the print rolls today - prior to being shipped out - that’s actually the main reason for my putting this post up tonight!  They’re on their way to you now (had to wait to get all orders together and do a big print job, signing, packaging and shipping to save time… and I had to be in town to sign them in person of course - that was actually the main hold up - I’ve been on the road for close to 9 weeks…)

For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about - look at the post here or below.    The sale from these prints will contribute to a student’s paid internship -all profits* from the sale of these prints will go directly into an intern’s pocket.  Act fast as these prints become limited edition prints on December 8th - and sell at a much greater price!  (*after the cost of paper, ink and shipping is deducted)

(NB: for those astute people watching - some of the prints sizes have been discontinued for a number of reasons… and the prices have indeed gone up a bit.)

This sounds awesome, what a great idea. I am a student of Jeanie Adams-Smith at the WKU photojournalism program and would love to apply. I’ll keep my eye out for details of the internship.

Hi Vincent, or should I say “Salut”.

just testing if the embed works here.
In any case, je suis interessé par l’offre de l’internship.

I’ll also drop you an email directly to inquire about how you are going to choose your intern.

You can check my work at http://www.paulprescott.com

Hope to get some news

Hey Vincent,
sorry to bother you but is there a new date when you will release detailed information about your internship?

In the meanwhile, enjoy your family life!
Cheers

I thought I’d check back and see if you had posted any information about the internship. I know I’m probabily going to annoy you and ask the same question your probabily get 50 emails a day for. I hope the information regarding it wasen’t posted elsewhere and I missed it because I am very interested.

Hello there Vincent,

I know you’ve been busy on your film (jawdropping visuals, btw), but will you be hiring an intern soon? I’ve been keeping up with the blog in the hopes of throwing my hat in the ring once you’re ready to accept submissions for internships, but I haven’t seen any recent posts regarding the internships. Maybe I missed it? Did you choose an intern already?

Sorry in advance if you’ve already mentioned this or if I seem impatient :). I know you have a ton on your plate, I’m just a fan of your work and would love nothing more than to work with you…and LEARN!

Sincerely,

Jose S.
